Sometimes I feel like the human race takes one step forward and two steps back.

PETA Protests Animal Testing Outside Parliament

PETA stood in solidarity with animal protection groups ahead of a crucial debate on testing on animals.

It's mind boggling that torturing animals in the name of science is still practised in countries.
Moreover they boast that they have the best animal welfare compared to others.

Please write to your MP and sign the various petitions that are currently on Care and other animal welfare groups so that
experiments on animals will come to an end:

A Eulogy for P-22, Mountain Lion Who Changed the World​

by Beth Pratt

''I write this eulogy while looking across one of the ten-lane freeways P-22 somehow miraculously crossed in 2012, gazing at a view of his new home, Griffith Park. Burbank Peak and the other hills that mark the terminus of the Santa Monica Mountains emerge from this urban island like sentinels making a last stand against the second-largest city in the country. The traffic noise never ceases. Helicopters fly overhead. The lights of the city give the sky no peace.

Yet a mountain lion lived here, right here in Los Angeles.''

Californians Are Losing It After the Death of the 'King’ Puma. That's Not a Good Thing for Mountain Lion Conservation

The city that idolized urban mountain lion P-22 for a decade faces deep grief after his death. That's not good for humans or animals.

Ban testing on dogs in the UK by adding them to the exemption list alongside great apes​

Our Mission — HOUNDED

[shyvas]

Thank you wonderful sabs. There were many of you all across the UK disrupting
those vile Boxing Day hunts.

A precious innocent hound getting some love and affection from a sab before it's forced to go and kill a fox.

 

[shyvas]

The first fox who is utterly exhausted is trying to escape the hounds. Sadly, even if a fox escapes it often dies to organ failure due to the
horrendous stress.

 

[shyvas]

This is how the poor hounds are treated after the hunt; simply pulled by their collar and dragged away.

 

[shyvas]

The hunters get wasted as the fox has gone to ground.

 

[shyvas]

A poor hound chooses to leave the hunt to get some water and affection from the sabs.

Various loopholes in the legislation are allowing this blood sport to prevail in our countryside. Please support the various
anti hunting groups by sharing information and also by donating to help them to sabotage the hunts.

''So if the ban is entering its 15th year, why is fox hunting still happening?''

No wonder fox hunting is still prevalent – the ban is designed to fail British wildlife

Fox hunting has been banned in the UK since 2004 – so why is it still happening?

Experts in the wider scientific community, outside the animal-based research sector, openly agree that laboratory animal models are now demonstrated to hold no predictive value for human patients. Parliamentary EDM 278 enables MPs to call for medical evidence to be heard, which will prove beyond doubt that animal experiments are failing the search for human treatments and cures and should be abandoned without delay.

The EDM calls for the Government to mandate a rigorous public scientific hearing, judged by independent experts from the relevant science fields, to stop the false claims about human medicine which continue to fund animal testing.

The EDM's hearing is crucial because 75% of all animal experiments are sanctioned under the guise of predictive value for human patients.
